Why book a private autism assessment for your child?

Recognising autism in children early can make a big difference in their development, confidence and wellbeing.

If your child starts to display behaviours linked to communication difficulties, sensory sensitivities, or behavioural challenges, a formal child assessment can help you better understand their unique needs. At Neuroaffinity, our private autism assessments for children are:

What to expect at an autism assessment for children?

Our structured, multi-step process makes sure that every child receives a customised and sensitive evaluation:

Initial screening

A detailed developmental and behavioural history form to help our clinicians understand your child’s early milestones, communication, behaviour, and emotional responses.

Additional background information

Additional details may be gathered from family members or partners to gain a complete understanding of your symptoms.

Clinical interview

A 1:1 structured diagnostic interview with a qualified psychologist trained in child autism presentation. Input from teachers or other caregivers may also be included if appropriate.

Diagnostic evaluation

A post-interview evaluation using gold-standard tools such as the ADOS-2 or 3Di, depending on your child’s age and needs.

Diagnostic decision

A professionally written report that includes diagnostic outcomes (if applicable), your child’s strengths and challenges, and clear, practical recommendations for support at home and school. And, a follow-up conversation to review your results, ask questions, and explore next steps.

Post-diagnostic support

Access to practical guidance and referrals for therapy, coaching, and workplace or academic support (if required).

Online autism assessments for children

We understand that attending an in-person assessment may not suit every family. That’s why we offer both in-clinic and online child autism assessments (where clinically appropriate), allowing your child to complete the process in a comfortable environment.

Anisa Iqbal

Where do I start, I’ve had such a positive experience with Neuroaffinity, it can be hard to find support that genuinely understands your needs, but I felt listened to and understood from the start and the whole experience helped me gain a better understanding of myself and gave me more confidence. Honestly I’m really grateful for the support I received and would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for understanding, neurodivergent-friendly support. ❤️

We’re really pleased with the care and support we have received from Shehzad and his team. Everyone has been friendly, welcoming, and never made us feel rushed. The information and guidance provided throughout the process were very helpful and helped us better understand our daughter’s diagnosis. Shehzad took the time to answer our questions and make sense of the diagnosis. We felt listened to, supported, and treated with genuine care throughout. We’re very grateful for the service we received and would highly recommend them to other families seeking support.

Shivani Soni

Great experience with the clinic. The staff were supportive, professional, and made the whole process easy and comfortable.

Sameeha Hussain

I would gladly recommend this service. My son had been waiting 4 years for an assessment and we went back and forth with the GP. The assessment was easy to book and done smoothly with baring in mind the conditions of my child. Detailed questions and answers which have supported me in getting support for my child at school including a support plan. This assessment has also made my life easier when repeating details for my son of his conditions.

Incredible, capable team that handled me as client with expertise and discretion. I felt heard and supported throughout my journey at their clinic- which is refreshing to see.

Tasneem Mahmood

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an ADHD assessment for my child with Neuro Affinity and had a very positive experience from start to finish. The team were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. They took the time to listen carefully, explain everything clearly, and made both myself and my child feel comfortable and understood. The assessment was thorough and conducted with great care and sensitivity. We left with a much clearer understanding of our child's needs and felt reassured by the guidance and support provided. As a parent, it was such a relief to feel heard and to have our concerns taken seriously. I would highly recommend Neuro Affinity to any family seeking an ADHD assessment or support. Thank you to the team for your kindness, professionalism, and dedication.
